Taxes paid: Our economic contribution

The taxes we pay help governments provide essential services to communities and invest for the future. In 2018, the Rio Tinto Group paid $6.6 billion in taxes and royalties globally, including $4.8 billion paid in Australia.

Since our first Taxes paid report in 2010, we have paid $63 billion in taxes and royalties globally, of which over 70%, or $46 billion, was paid in Australia.

This report builds on our long history of transparency and provides comprehensive disclosures over the tax and other payments we make to governments.
